[pammyglo1]

can you use anything other than coconut to roll them in. my daughter loves apricots but hates coconut

[OnePotChefShow]

@pammyglo1 The coconut is optional - you could dust them with icing/powdered sugar if you prefer ;)

[heelrunner]

Is there a condensed milk that isn't sweet? Seriously?

[OnePotChefShow]

@heelrunner Not that I know of.

[pointeskatecybunny]

Can i use a blender?

[OnePotChefShow]

@pointeskatecybunny Most blenders do not have strong enough motors. You really need a food processor.

[OnePotChefShow]

@MMEggman Everyone is a fan of my balls - everyone wants them LOL

giggle giggle giggle

[kiraaleximusic]

I was laughing when you said 'tight little balls' and then you said 'giggle giggle giggle' that made me laugh even more

[Canonpedua12]

I felt stupid when I laughed silently to myself and you said "giggle giggle giggle" haha.

@haylosupastar yes car is car all over the world. Im American. If you soeak another language it is not car tho... Duh :) but she meant that cuz they have accents :)

[17thCenturyLlama]

@OnePotChefShow Unless you have a Blendtec blender!

[haylosupastar]

Nope definitely not the same. Fruit drops (balls) were not just apricot flavoured rumballs! They were ball shaped apricot slice (the stuff u buy from health section in cubes with coconut around the edges). They were smooth all way through & no crunchy rumball type bits!

[haylosupastar]

I will correct myself before anybody else does lol, I know apricots a fruit lol haha, I meant fruit as in a mixture of different fruits hehe

[haylosupastar]

These look like fruit drops that EVERYONE in Australia had at their primary school canteen!! Some schools called them fruit balls. Stupid thing is, they weren't fruit, they were all just apricot, so they shouldve been called apricot balls. How big are they? The ones at school were a bit smaller than a marble.

[haylosupastar]

@MistressCheii - how do Americans say car? I thort car would be a universally pronounced word!!??

[MistressCheii]

I want him to say Car. Just once. I make my New Zealand and Aussie friend say it. XD They just roll there eyes and say it

I'm such a child.
